caringbridge site for Mason Ellsworth Any positive energy you can send this familys way would be appreciated..we really need Mason to wake up soon...
Hi Steve!!! How ya been? We been worrying about you!! I think Thelma and magpie saw someone this morning, an adult I think.
Was going to ask you the same thing, Steve.
Sunny saw an adult on the river...but we haven't seen a juvie since last week, I believe.
Thanks for the link for Mason, Megan. Have it bookmarked now.
Definitely will continue to pray for Mason.
Ooohhh, nice fish at CT
"Oops, think my talon is stuck in the darn fish" Says the osprey
Just signing in for the afternoon... Thanks Steve for the new thread..
Steve - The adults have been sighted early early morning hours and sometimes Liberty (male adult) comes in the nest late afternoon. We'll
try to pass the word that when we get pics of them to send also to you.
Meagan will keep Mason in my prayers asking God to let him wake up and get better.
Well, I think I just posted my photo of Frieda on the Frodo Forum, and now let's see if I can post it from Photobucket to here directly.
No, it didn't work directly. So far, I have to go through the usual step of creating a bluie link; but here is the first known picture of Frieda this year ... enjoying her lunch while standing in her new nest "scrape" or depression.

Sad news out of Pelican Harbor "Santa Cruz" A 65 Skye has died.
Thanks, Glo. I was just planning to post that link.
It's very sad that Skye, the PH eaglet which suffered the broken wing in the attack on the nest, has been found dead.
But in the same Update there is news of another immature possibly sighted, which they thought had died over the water in 2006.
I was really pulling for A-64 and A-65 to make it after their traumatic falls from their nest and the subsequent treatment.

Hello...everyone, back from zoo, very busy...lots of media coverage, but things went smoothly.
Yes Jim it is sad news as we got to know and watch 64 and 65 and yearn for their recovery and long life. Spirit does well and yes indeed it does appear there is more good news aobut I think its a 3 year old they thought had been lost and dead who showed up alive and well. Nature is well difficult to understand.
Thanks for the link concerning A65
You just never know what fates are waiting for our juvies - Thankfulness for the ones that fly high and live free!
Jim the picture of Frieda is really great and I'm glad all on here will see it. You mentioned you had sent it to John/Greg - so hopefully their blogs will have it.
The news is sad for Skye, my heart goes out to all the IWS staff. It's so difficult to learn of it, but thanks, Glo, for letting us know.
This is a neat siteThe butterfly big year Robert Michael Pyle hung up his word processor at the end of 2007 and set out in his trusty 1982 Honda, to find as many American and Canadian butterfly species as he could in a single year. To keep Orion abreast, Bob promised to mail us tidbits from the trail and occasionally give us a call. Twice a month throughout 2008, we post Bob's notes from the road. His is a journal unlike anything else you've seen online.
Thanks, JIM, for the post of Frieda...pretty little nest, beautiful bird, with a little chow in there for a snack...
xo
floralgirl: that's a charmer, that site, someday I think DEB will do something like this!
Thanks for sending it on to us...
JIM YOU HAVE AN EMAIL
MITS - thanks for the detailed though disappointing update on the maternity situation for Mei, and as you said, she's most likely just fine, it's the rest of us that are all torn up! She seems to have the best team working with and for her, including YOU.
xo
Skies don't look promising for the 5-planet night...they'll be out there, but I don't think I'll be able to see them...
I'm still gonna yell for Mason at 9 pm...
Good Evening to All...
Margy, Mei is doing wonderful, she looked fantastic, and I am so very proud of the zoo staff...they work really hard, and even though, it did not turn out the way they would have liked, it brought more info to them....it is always a learning experience when you are working with animals....BTW, the red pandas were out today and they were just beautiful, since I was the only volunteer on the trail today, did not make it to check on the other animals on the trail
what a neat site, Megan.....how was DC yesterday?
Looks like rain at our nest...
Better hurry up and walk my dogs!
Getting a good hard rain hereabouts....
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE...
Yes, Paula, we are getting a nice rain here, near the nest. Hooray!!
Our garden is soooo dry. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
FINAL REPORT FROM THE ZOO, RE: MEI XIANG
August 13
Zoo staff confirmed today that Mei Xiang will not give birth to a cub this year. They believe that she experienced either a pseudopregnancy or the loss of a developing fetus. In a pseudopregnancy, an animal's hormonal changes and behaviors are identical to a pregnancy, but no conception occurred. Fetal loss during early pregnancy is a common occurrence in mammals, but the reasons for this phenomenon are poorly understood.
As you read in these updates, Zoo scientists, veterinarians, and keepers were closely watching Mei Xiang, assessing her hormone levels and behavior and conducting weekly ultrasounds in an attempt to determine if she was pregnant. Veterinarians noted small changes in Mei Xiang's uterus but they were unable to confirm the presence of a fetus. Giant panda fetuses are very small—a newborn cub is only five inches long. At other zoos, fetuses have been visible on ultrasound only in the last weeks before birth.
In mid-July Mei Xiang's urinary progesterone levels (a hormone associated with pregnancy) began to decline. In pregnant pandas, declining hormones and increased maternal behaviors signal an impending birth. This year, Mei Xiang's hormones declined as expected, but the decline lasted longer than normal and she continued to show maternal behavior even after her hormones reached baseline. The Zoo's scientists and veterinarians speculate that Mei Xiang may have experienced the loss of an early-stage fetus that failed to develop normally, and it was absorbed into the lining of the uterus. In the coming days, we expect Mei to return to "normal," both hormonally and behaviorally, experiencing an increase in appetite and activity level.
Last night, Mei showed very little maternal behavior. The volunteers recorded only 46 minutes of Kong toy cradling in two sessions, one lasting 12 minutes and one lasting 34 minutes. Otherwise, there were no other behaviors observed last night. This morning Mei was very alert and curious about the activities of the keeper staff. After an ultrasound and some bamboo, Mei slept in her den the rest of the day. We observed only a few minutes of paw licking today.
We will return to our normal schedule tomorrow. Mei will go outside again, and we will return to analyzing urine samples on a weekly basis instead of daily.
We offer our sincerest gratitude to everyone for supporting our program this year. We could not have operated so smoothly without everyone's effort. Special thanks to all the dedicated FONZ volunteers on our 24-hour watch who recorded Mei Xiang's behaviors.
Our staff are recognized leaders in the study of giant panda reproduction. Each year, hormone analysis, behavior observations, and ultrasound technology help us learn more about pregnancy and pseudopregnancy, and may show us how common fetal loss is for giant pandas.
Thanks to everyone who has been following the pregnancy watch along with us. While we all would have been thrilled to welcome a baby giant panda this year, we have learned a great deal about this fascinating species and hope you have too. We are happy to have three healthy pandas, and enjoy providing you with a window into the world of our pandas and show how we care for them and work to conserve this endangered species.
We encourage panda fans to support our conservation efforts by making a donation to the Giant Panda Conservation Fund.
So much sad news today....glad that Freida has been sited!!
Megan...nice new flower...morning glory or petunia???
Whoops, walked away to fill the hummer feeders- thunderstorm coming at us now. DC was slow , but I did ok, sold about what I usually do. My flower pic is a moonvine flower- they open at dusk,and smell wonderful. I was outside watching a sphinx moth flting around hitting my nicotiana and cleome and 4 o'clock flowers, tried to get a pic, but it's too dark out there now, and he is fast.
Good Evening Eagle Buds. We got juice!!Electricity went out at Park yesterday 10-3 & when I got home was out there too!!! Funny, I didn't see any storms!
Oh, so sorry about Skye. We watched those sweet birds recover from their falls, & now this. :>(
Glad the missing eaglet was seen!
Since was lovely weather yesterday & no juice, no phone!!!!!, I got to go outside--took pics of butterfly garden & after work hiked & went around our Nature Study boardwalk loop thru the marsh. Got pics of mostly wildflowers. Will post probably TH--day off. Yippee!
Gonna check out Frodo info.
And Sissy has to be our resident panda, since there won't be new cub!!
Dang it, those storms went right by us- lots of wind and little rain- now I'm gonna have to water heavily tomorrow..groan....
nary a cloud in sight here, was just sitting on the back deck....wonderful breeze:)
hubby is off to Atlanta, think the next time he goes I will go with him and check out there zoo.
Storm hasn't gotten over South Mountain yet to the valley..
I really hope it does make it - it's getting dry.
Megan - Does the moonvine also have
a deep purple variety?
Thanks for the site for Mason. Keeping him in my prayers. 9:00 tonight I'll send positive vibes to him to awaken him.
Loretta - pics forth coming - please name the wild flowers for us. I see so much along roadsides that I don't know their names. Thanks.
Loretta, is your Butterfly garden at work or at your home? Butterflies and wild flowers....all wild, free, and beautiful! Anxious to see your photos. How's the tooth?
Nope, moonvine flower is only white,ipomoea alba, but it is in the morning glory family, and there are many colors of those. It is very fragrant, each flower lasts one night.
Jo, I love wild flowers. There is nothing like seeing a patch of flowers along the road or up a mountainside that was put there by Mother Nature. We saw so many beautiful wild flowers on our trip in March...only knew what a few were. Brought some home and planted them but they all died except a cactus. It bloomed for me, a most beautiful pink flower.
Hope someone sees the planets....total cloud cover here..
...sigh...
maybe tomorrow night....
Megan, does the Moon Flower come up by itself each year or do you have to replant it?
Thanks, Jo- if anyone is gonna be in Sheptown Sunday, Betty's is having a fudraising event for Mason, from 8-2:30- as Margy mentioned yesterday.
Wanda, if you want to grow moonvine just ask me next spring, I always grow them for myself and to sell. It is an annual here, plant it in mid May.
Poor little Skye...at least he got a taste of freedom....
It's a sad but true fact that 50% of eagles don't survive their first year...and the stats are worse for osprey...
Will do, Megan. Thanks. I have heard their fragrance is wonderful...will try it.
We grow moonvine, cardinal climber vine and spanish flag vine all together at our front door,(you can google picks of the last two) they are climbing together on the house and deck rail and strings hubby strung all over. Those of you who want to see lots of hummers need to grow cardinal cliber, it just needs something to climb on.
I got a call from Karla yesterday and Dustin had his examination by a group of doctors from UVHospital, who came to Winchester hospital to check him out. They are happy with his progress and said his heart is almost back to normal. They are letting him do moderate activities now, but want to see him again in December. All this from a little tick!
TIME TO GIVE THE
WAKE UP
CAL FOR MASON
.....wake up, Mason.....
x o x o x o x o x o x
W A K E U P M A S O N
WE'RE ALL WAITING FOR YOU, SWEETHEART....
X O
Megan, I have a red double morning glory and a trumpet vine growing on my deck railing and neither one has bloomed yet. Not enough sun, I guess. The morning glory bloomed last year and was beautiful. I had never seen a double morning glory.
Yikes, when I do that, all the dogs in the neighborhood start barking, sounds like I got about 4 of them going now.
MAAAAAASOOOOON...WAKE UP!!!!!
Bless your heart.
Yes, WAKE UP MASON!!!!!!!!!!
Wanda, I've only had three blooms so far from my moonvine, so chilly at night in the 50's lately, really slows things down. Is it shady where you have them planted?
..we might be a day later than everyone else, but sometimes I guess we just march to a different drum....
Prayers for all, all the time, -
We gotta stick together !
xo
We have a Mimosa tree which has grown quite tall and I believe that is the culprit...it shade the deck most of the day.
Past two mornings, I had to put a robe on when I went out. No coffee on the deck, eiher. LOL
I'm going to sign the guest book....
tell 'em we gave Mason a rousing Eagle Momsters and Dadsters Wake-Up Call...
Wouldln't it be wonderful if Mason woke up tonight. Let it be so.
...plus a few Eagle Dogsters....
Wake Up, Mason!! I am a little late, but the call is on the way from SD.
Nicotiana with moth now, Megan?
Yepper, tobbaco sphinx moth.
Hi, Deb, where have you been hiding? Either out with the Ospreys and Eagles or mowing grass?
Need more candles!!!!
Mason's Candles
oh no.....I'm late......WAKE UP, MASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paula, Jane told us the survival rate for osprey was as bad as 70%. So far we have 19 alive and well. Two of the three birds that went to the Raptor Center are on the way back tonight and can be released tomorrow. Sadly the third had a very serious fungal infection and the best thing for the chick was to be euthanized. All 15 birds that have been released have been spotted, so that is good news for now.
You have quite an array of wildlife in your yard. Lucky girl. I think we will have to call you Mother Nature Girl.
Here's a pic of what the tobbaco sphinx moth caterpillar looks like.
I have been with the osprey today, Wanda, with an eagle visitor. First time I have been afraid to see an eagle. It is a three year old and it landed in the osprey's favorite tree. There were 4 chicks in the tree and I held my breath the whole time. I followed the eagle in my pick-up to make sure it left, so we could all relax. There wouldn't be anything we could do, just watch nature happen in front of us. Luckily, we didn't have to endure that! This is the third visit, but today was the first time it spooked the chicks and, also, the first time a biologist wasn't there. Bob, another volunteer, and I were alone.
Megan that looks like the tomato worm. Is it?
Glad you didn't have to witness another bit of mother nature, Deb.
I'll bet your heart was pounding hard!
I was late also. WAKE UP MASON.
I was late also. WAKE UP MASON.
That is one big bug!
It's NEVER too late, Folks...
Anytime, anyday....and I know the family appreciates all the giving and caring...
It was jumping, Wanda. Bob was talking with a visitor, when I flew for my binoculars. He said it was just a heron, I said, that's no heron! Then I just said, please go away. I missed some good pictures, because I was so worried, got it just as it was leaving.
I was late but shouted twice to catch up with the other calls. Clear here can see the moon and only one planet so far. Going to light a candle for Mason.
I had some more b-day cake tonight..
Grandson turned 18 today.. He's another one of my sweethearts!
I'M SURE MASON HEARD YOU CEIL:)
CEIL - the other planets have already "set" - basically, all the planets are pretty much in the same "elliptic" as the moon...so those other four were out all day moving across the sky from Southeast to Southwest..Mars is sometimes a little more out of line than the others...
Enjoy Jupiter and Luna for me, can't see a thing here...
xo
Deb I hope you are trying to keep an ongoing journal of all these events! Well really your whole summer has been eventful for you.
I suppose all your photos are really your journal!
Mema - you always seem to have such fun and events going on with your kids and grandkids...
How's Patrick and Ryan getting along?
We have gotten some rain but like Megan's area it wasn't enough to do much good to the dry earth!
Jane has a journal going and then my pictures are going to be added to it, along with hers. This weekend is Riverboat Days and the river will be swamped with people, but after that we are going to start on a powerpoint presentation.
Deb, I'm so happy for you, you can just tell how much you are enjoying it, thru your posts
DEB: that's a lot of drama at the nest today for you...glad it worked out okay...
I'm really enjoying hearing of your adventures.
TTFN, time for pajamas...
I was sorry to hear about Mei. It would have been so neat to see a baby panda growing up.
Mits, I never thought I would have a chance to be involved in such a project. It is a wonderful experience and I am learning so much! Add on all the great people I am meeting, wow!
well hopefully, Atlanta will have a cub, it won't be the same, as the National Zoo is set up with their cams for the best viewing with sound and 24/7 coverage for the first couple of months, but better luck next year, if they decide they will do it again....time is running out for Mei and Tian, as their 10-year loan to the zoo expires in 2010
you are perfect for it, and isn't it funny how some things just present themselves to us and you have to grab at the chance:)
WAKE UP MASON!!!!!!!!!
What's happening ladies?
If things go ok tomorrow, I will get to go up in the tower. Keep your fingers crossed. Heights and I don't really get along, but I am going up that ladder at all costs. The only time I will really need to look down is when we come down out of the tower, maybe by then I will be too excited to get dizzy!
hey Sissy....how goes it...you will be just fine, Deb:)
Don't think I'm gonna get any of that wet stuff!
Deb - an opportunity of a lifetime! Enjoy!
Thanks Magpie. I was out there looking and thinking that some clouds moved in and covered them. As Helen said NZ had great coverage of Tai. I would get up in the middle of the night to check in on him and Mei. Deb I am so glad you have been able to experience what not to many people are able to see. Thank you I so enjoy hearing about the osprey.
I was a little late but maybe my good wishes made it his way. Bless his heart, been reading the journal. He is obviously a very special young man, a musician like our Andrew. I will pray and pray for his recovery.
Good luck, Deb. I am that way with heights myself. Prefer to keep my feet on good ole terra firma.
Been cleaning house this evening. I so hate doing that. But, it is a necessary evil every once in a while. Had all 3 dachshunds outside while I did the floors. You would have thought I killed them. Oh the humanity!!
wining weenies:)
ops...should be whining
very good mits. loudly whining weenies. Now they are sleeping sausages!!
Coughln just won!!
That would be a sight to see, Sissy, and probably hear, too!
Wow, she is so good.
Don't watch alot of the Olympics but I love the beach volleyball and the swimming. Phelps is a real joy to watch.
Well good night everyone. Pleasant dreams. Prayers for all.
she just won her heat, Sissy, not the final yet
hubby likes the women's beach volleyball......
Just glanced at your pics, Deb. They are really good. There is an osprey at Claytor Lake where we have our boat. We see it every once in a while when we are in the cove. Going this weekend, can't wait. We haven't been to the lake in 3 weeks, not camping in a month. That just ain't right.
yep, you had a long day, Ceil...and I'm right behind you, hold the door open...GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE PRAYERS FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEM:)
Right, Mits. A Chinese woman just got disqualified.
Yeah, I think I will join you guys. Night, night, sleep tight. See you in the morning light.
Prayers for all, especially Mason and his family.
WHY WAS SHE DQ?????
Oops, sorry Wanda-walked away from the computer- my pic is a tobacco hornworm-it has a red spike, it looks a lot like the tomato hornworm which has a black spkie, I get both in my yard.
False start, Mits. Moved after they said, On your mark.
ooooo, that is a non-no, surprised they DQ'ED her since she was from China...just said on news Phelps consumes 12,000 a day when he is in training and competing
I see the Moon and the Moon sees me...
It did exchange positions with Jupiter.
Keep hollering those well wishes,people it doesn't matter what time you do it....
Good Night to all, it's been a learning day once again on this old Blog.
Take Care, and Prayers...xoxo
Going to watch news and head to bed
Good Night All
Peace to You & Yours
Prayers for all and especially for
Mason to come out of that coma are
being said..
((hugs))
It was pretty obvious, Mits, once you saw the replay. There would be a stink if they didn't!
Here comes Phelps again!
It was a semi...won it tho
I was reading the enries in Mason's guestbook and this one made me smile:
Mason was probably five or so and he ended up in my mom's dance class. He was such a creative kid that he had no problem running around the room with all the girls and trying to turn fast and point his toes. There was one catch, though, to his dance class career. He refused to enter the classroom without a yellow 'cape' (or large piece of yellow cloth). I'm not really sure how mom figured out his love for the yellow cape but once he knew the cape existed that was it. No cape, no dance class. For the performance at the end of the year he was mr. sun and all the girls were flowers. He had a ball running around the stage in the cape giving them all sunlight.
I'm still thinking about all of you and sending as much positive energy your way as I can. Give Mason a poke (or a hug) for me, k?

Good night everyone. I put up more pictures, now they are fishing!
I just watched the video Jo sent out through Momster mail. It was fun to see Mits, our own TV star!
The Frieda photo has been posted now by John, and the new way of inserting a link into the Forum works.
Another viewer ... Australian ... also captured that one and a couple of others.
If you missed the earlier link, it will be below too.

All calm at the Hobby Nest this morning, that bird is really getting big now and getting its dark feathers...
magpie-I know what you mean-I'm dragging this morning myself. Hope to see some eagles or juvies today. Everyone make a good day.
Good morning everyone!!
Good morning magpie, thelma and sissy, guess my sister the tv star is sleeping in this morning. I am off to work today so everyone have a great day. MASON WAKE UP IT IS A GORGEOUS DAY.
good morning ceil-thanks-hope you have a great day too!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Thelma, when is the last time you saw an eagle in our nest? I havn't seen one for weeks.
Margy, yes, we're grateful for the good report that Dustin got. I was a little concerned because he had a few episodes of throwing up.
I must have missed the email with the video of our MITS...where is it?
Good morning. Wanda, I think Jo sent it out last evening. I haven't seen it yet either. I got it in my inbox but haven't had a chance to look at it.
Have a good day Ceil. We are foggy and damp here, but the sun is suppose to come out later.
Jo, must have forgotten me...not in my mailbox.
Wanda-I saw an eagle Tuesday morning. I think Magpie saw one the same morning around 4 AM.
Glad to hear the good report on your grandson.
Hey all! the August moon is the corn moon or the Full Sturgeon Moon - The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.
Wanda- great news about Dustin:)
I missed the email too Wanda-or I got it and I had "user error" which is common for me-just ask Bev and Sharon. :)
I have got to get to work-later all you fine folk!

Yes, NORMA, along with the joys of retirement, comes problems too. It seems everything happens at once. We need 3 new patio windown (they have fogged up), all new windows on the lower level, front porch redone, new carpet, bathrooms redone and to top it all off, my car died!! So glad I have you all to keep my mind busy.

Good Morning
HELLO my buddy, NORMA!
I have just been scanning through the comments and Paula You could have fooled me about the Pop Up! Maybe that is why Steve was soooooooo busy yesterday! That is fantastic!
Did not get up til an hour ago, could not get to sleep last night....so drinking coffee and packing to head back to the beach sometime today
I only saw one JUVIE FLAMINGO----But WHOA---WATCH those adorable ducks strutting around & through the legs of the FLAMINGOS!!----
I love the pop up cam...takes up less room on my screen!
Wonder when they snuck the popup cam in on us? I like it too!
No new update as yet at ATLANTA ZOO!!----BUTA BUTA is conked out between the logs above her hammock!!--PANDAS just stop & NAP when ever they feel sleepy---Doesn't matter where they are!!!---HEY! SISSY!---Now I know why you want to be a PANDA!! -- ho!
Paula Have you found any way to make the pop up cam stay up continually until you manually close it or minimize it?
MORNIN' HELEN & JO!!!---Do you plan to change your name HELEN---or will your manager-- JO -- not let you do it??-----What was it JIMMY DURANTE used to say----"You ain't seen nothin' yet!!!"----ho!----(of course all you kids are too young to remember DURANTE?----ho!
Norma, that is EXACTLY why I want to be a panda. No responsibilities, just eat and nap whenever the mood hits me. And to be that relaxed--HO!!
NORMA....I watched him all the time.....:)
I think I am dreaming - or just confused about my question on the pop up cam. I know Blackwater & Brisbane have pop ups.. If you have them up and start to type or change sites - they do go down. I think I have confused the Pop Up with the Live Feed Real Player! Sorry!
Would be nice though if the Pop Up could be programed to do that!
Whoa- pop up cam is cool:)
Well, how cool is that pop-up cam? Didn't notice it when I first logged on! Thanks for telling us, gals. Jo, I can't get it to stay up either, but if I just put the cursor on it, it shows minimized the same way live feed did.
HEY KIDS!---have a lunch date--later!!
Deb, your new pics are absolutely fantastic!! What special days you have been having.
Jo, my pop up stays up, no problem. I am on IE.
Norma, you hurry back. We miss you when you are gone!
Have a nice Lunch, Norma
Have a nice lunch, Norma!!
Wanda, sorry about your car dying...is it fixable??
Norma, has a date with the plumber
